Slavery of Debt

In ten of thousands of homes, the general topic of conversation is poverty and want, and that is what they are getting.

The poverty consciousness is the result of the habit of thinking of and fearing poverty. "The thing I had feared has come upon me!"

Debt is a merciless master, a fatal enemy of the savings habit.

Poverty alone is sufficient to kill of ambition, destroy self confidence, and destroy hope, but add to it the burden of debt and all who are victims of these two cruel taskmasters are practically doomed to failure.

No one can carry out a definite purpose in life with heavy debt hanging over his head.

You are a human magnet and you are constantly attracting to you people which characters harmonize with your own.

No sacrifice is too great to avoid the misery of debt!

Two types of Debts
-Debts incurred for luxuries that become a dead loss
-Debts incurred in the course of professional or business trading which represent service or merchandise that can be converted back into assets.

The fear of poverty breaks down the will power of its victims and they then find themselves unable to restore their fortunes. What is still more sad, they lose all ambition to extricate themselves from the slavery of debt.

The person who is free from debt may whip poverty and achieve outstanding financial success, but, if bound by debt, such achievement is only remote possibility and never a probability.

Fear of poverty is a negative, destruction state of mind. Moreover, one negative state of mind has a tendency to attract other similar state of minds.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

How to Make Good Habits Inevitable and Bad Habits Impossible

Sometimes success is less about making good habits easy and more about making bad habits hard. This is an inversion of the 3rd Law of Behavior Change: make it dif icult. If you find yourself continually struggling to follow through on your plans, then you can take a page from Victor Hugo and make your bad habits more difficult by creating what psychologists call a commitment device. A commitment device is a choice you make in the present that controls your actions in the future. It is a way to lock in future behavior, bind you to good habits, and restrict you from bad ones. When Victor Hugo shut his clothes away so he could focus on writing, he was creating a commitment device. There are many ways to create a commitment device. You can reduce overeating by purchasing food in individual packages rather than in bulk size. You can voluntarily ask to be added to the banned list at casinos and online poker sites to prevent future gambling sprees. I’ve even heard of athletes who have to “mak...
 THE REAL REASON HABITS MATTER the true question is: “Are you becoming the type of person you want to become?” The first step is not what or how, but who. You need to know who you want to be. Otherwise, your quest for change is like a boat without a rudder. And that’s why we are starting here. You have the power to change your beliefs about yourself. Your identity is not set in stone. You have a choice in every moment. You can choose the identity you want to reinforce today with the habits you choose today. Building better habits isn’t about littering your day with life hacks. It’s not about flossing one tooth each night or taking a cold shower each morning or wearing the same outfit each day. It’s not about achieving external measures of success like earning more money, losing weight, or reducing stress. Habits can help you achieve all of these things, but fundamentally they are not about having something. They are about becoming someone. Ultimately, your habits matter because the...
